Oldest post office

nothing to do with Liberia as such, but I live about 5 miles away from the world's oldest post office, recently taken over by a couple from Florida! This may crop up in a pub quiz sometime!

I wonder if any Liberia items ever came through here!

Nice story, thanks for sharing. We will have to send you there to get us that postmark!

My fees are very reasonable!

And here is the oldest Post Office in the USA.

Given the first postage stamps appeared in 1840 in Britain and 1847 in the US you wonder how much mail they actually dealt with!
